A PROPOSAL TO EXPLORE AND DEVELOP ALTERNATIVE MODALITIES FOR PROVIDING DNA TRAINING FOR THE NATION'S PROSECUTORS
Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
APRI's goal is to promote and enhance prosecutors' understanding of DNA-related evidence and the skills to apply this knowledge in prosecuting DNA-related criminal cases. To achieve this goal, APRI proposes to adopt a blended learning approach that builds on and extends the CD-ROM and web-based instructional materials we are already producing for NIJ under the President's DNA Initiative. Specifically, APRI proposes to accomplish the following objectives over the next 12-month funding cycle: Objective 1: To develop and deliver an instructional package to accompany the CD-ROM and web-based materials; Objective 2: To create a series of training modules suitable for broadcast; and Objective 3: To continually update APRI's web-based instructional material.
